Specifically, before a segment in which Sarah Palin was going to grace the airwaves with her eloquent tweets on Chick-Fil-A (“The Bible says a Chick-Fil-A in every belly and a straight couple in every bedroom!”), CNN played Pink’s song, “Stupid Girls” off her 2006 album, I’m Not Dead. Of course, CNN — now facing criticism from … other stupid people? … claims that the song was in no way linked to the segment. It was just a coincidence.

“The music selection was a poor choice and was not intended to be linked to any news story,” a CNN spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter via The New York Mag, adding, “We regret any perception that they were planned together.”

Really? Here’s a few problems with that statement. Why would CNN choose a six-year-old song that wasn’t that popular to begin with (it peaked at #13 on the charts) to play before a Palin segment? Let’s not even mention the fact that it’s a terrible song that doesn’t really jibe well with the news. Now, if it were Garbage’s “Stupid Girl,” I might understand. That was a decent goddamn song.

Personally, I think there’s a producer in the CNN booth that has a sense of humor, and WE MUST STAMP IT OUT. CNN is the middle-of-the-road news network with lousy ratings; they’re not allowed a sense of humor.

Then again, I think they could’ve done a better job of choosing a song. Here’s a few other options CNN could’ve gone with (and please, feel free to add your own in the comments):
